Explore A New Vision Of The DC Universe With GRAYSON: EARTH ONE

With the success and popularity of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight film trilogy, several independent filmmakers can be found online with their own visions and spinoffs that deal with either the portrayal of Batman himself, or other characters such as "Richard Grayson", the young boy who becomes his sidekick, Robin, and subsequently, the solo vigilante, Nightwing, later on in the epic story.

Award-winning indie producer and filmmaker Hisonni Johnson is one of those people who are ready to literally introduce a new world for Grayson to evolve in. And to prove this, he has rolled out his latest new take on the world of Batman in the new shortfilm, Grayson: Earth One, the result of crowdfunding efforts by Johnson and his company, P3 Productions to help finance a hopeful first season with six more episodes in the works.

The non-profit shortfilm has all the trimmings to feature a grittier, dark and violent world that will showcase a bold new story illustrating how a young, unrefined-yet-tough Richard Grayson will ultimately live out his destiny as a new breed of superhero. So, in order to help tell the story and bring viewers and fans the rest of what he has to offer, Johnson has rolled out a new crowdfunding campaign to kick things off. Actor and athlete Stephen McCain stars as Richard Grayson, faced with the insidious evil doings of the vicious mad doctor, Victor Friese, played by actor Daz Crawford, best known for his role as Lighthammer in the 2002 thriller, Blade 2. Also starring are Raj Bhavsar, Peter Jang, Angela Gulner, Reneah Vanderbilt and Katie Young to round out the cast.

The past few years have been a vigorous tug-and-pull over just how long it would be before actor and martial artist Iko Uwais would see a more principal role than in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Landing a more definitive English speaking line in this year's thriller, Headshot, was just another layer on the waiting cake added until more time passed until now, with actor Frank Grillo front and center with the cast that outlines the first of possible prospects to come between two actors who've gotten their start in different markets.
I speak of prospects with a certain action crime saga remake in mind, but in the good name of staying on topic, let's bring things back into focus. For this, we now turn to the long-awaited first official teaser trailer for the new sci-fi thriller, Beyond Skyline from writer/producer/director Liam O'Donnell who served on the first film from directing duo Colin and Greg Strause back in 2010.
Those who haven't seen the first film yet have…

I think it's safe to say you know your movie sucks when you not only screw the rights holders whose name and content you base your unsanctioned film on, but when said rights holders join the chorus of critics panning your movie from literally every angle of the internet. That is the level of achievement you have reached if your name is George Nolfi and you've directed a film called Birth Of The Dragon, long hyped to be a hopefully legendary homage to Bruce Lee, the late founder of Jeet Kune Do and patriarch of American martial arts movie fandom.

My weekend was pretty huge for movies. My thoughts on Wolf Warrior 2 are up on my Instagram as well as posts about S.S. Rajamouli's Bahubali saga so feel free to skim those through and follow me as well as I also cross post news there. The news also includes the latest on what's what in the weekly Hit List and we begin with a new round of stunt and training reels from around the web. Anna Akimova gets things going this week with her latest reel followed by Jake Teel, D.L. MacDonald, Tyler Street, Jessica Stafford, Graham Hooper, Andy Whitmarsh, Samuel Horowitz, Monica Lopez, Noel Martinez, Casey Michaels, Bronson Cameron, Yessenia Cossio, Aaron D.
